Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of watchmaking. It concerns more particularly, the power reserve indicator mechanisms for timepiece movement of the type provided with a formed energy source of a motor spring.
  • the mechanism according to the invention includes a frame, a power reserve indicator and a gear differential with a first input connected to a mobile driven in rotation during the winding of the mainspring and a second input connected to a mobile rotated during the disarming of the mainspring, and an output connected to the power reserve indicator.
  • the indicator is likely to traverse a given angle between two extreme positions the first of which is occupied when the mainspring is armed and the second, when the spring is disarmed.
  • a mechanism of this type is described in "The Swiss watch with winding automatic "by B. Humbert, editions Scriptar, Lausanne 1955, on page 85. is equipped with a friction mounted indicator on a mobile connected to the output of the differential. The two extreme positions between which the indicator moves are defined by stops. When the indicator arrives at one of the stops, the upper limit for winding or disarming the mainspring, it remains stationary while the mainspring continues to be armed or disarmed, the friction allowing the wheel to move while the indicator is fixed.
  • patent application EP 1 139 182 filed at Applicant's name describes a mechanism including a mobile intermediate between the output of the differential gear and the indicator of power reserve.
  • This mobile comprises an elastic element arranged so that the differential gear continues to rotate freely while the indicator remains in abutment, causing the arming of the elastic element.
  • this arrangement is usable when the indicator is in abutment in one or the other of its extreme positions. But it's hard to do perfectly match the maximum winding position of the mainspring with the extreme position of the indicator corresponding to the largest reserve of walk. This implies special precautions and precise measurements when of assembly, particularly during after-sales service, so that the indicator displays correct information.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the drawback mentioned above, while retaining the benefits of the EP application mechanism already mentioned.
  • the connecting member comprises an arranged friction mechanism so that the first part can move frictionally with reference at the second when the indicator has reached its first extreme position, and a elastic element arranged so that it can be armed when the indicator has reaches its second extreme position, by moving the first part reference to the second part.
  • the lever has a longitudinal slot widening into an opening engaged on the pinion.
  • the elastic element is integral with the part comprising the abutment and cooperates with the lever so that when the indicator occupies its second position extreme, it is immobilized, while the mainspring causes the wheel of finishing and the differential gear, and that the elastic element is armed, then disarming when winding the mainspring.
  • the mechanism according to the invention is intended to take place in a movement of watch. It is mounted on a plate 8 partially visible in the drawing.
  • the movement comprises a power source formed of a barrel 10, movable in rotation about a shaft 12 pivoting on the plate 8 and in which is housed a motor spring 14 provided with a sliding flange, not explicitly shown in FIG. drawing.
  • the shaft 12 carries a ratchet wheel 16 which, driven in rotation at the by means of a not shown winding crown, makes it possible to arm the mainspring 14.
  • the barrel 10 drives the finishing gear which is not represented either. to the drawing.
  • the mechanism further comprises a differential 18 described in detail in the EP application mentioned above.
  • a differential 18 described in detail in the EP application mentioned above.
  • it includes a tree 20 placed at its output, a satellite carrier 22 integral in rotation with the shaft 20 and carrying a satellite 24 with conical teeth.
  • First and second entries are respectively constituted of a first 26 and a second 28 wheels mounted freely on the carrier 22.
  • the wheels 26 and 28 are each formed by a board identified by the letter a and whose periphery bears a toothing b, and a pinion c provided with a conical toothing d.
  • the wheel 26 meshes, by its toothing 26b, with the barrel 10.
  • the wheel 28 meshes, by its toothing 28b, with a return 30, meshing itself with the ratchet wheel 16.
  • the teeth 26d of the pinion 26c and 28d of pinion 28c are engaged with the satellite 24.
  • the gear ratios between the barrel 10 and the first input wheel 26, on the one hand, and the ratchet wheel 16 and the second input wheel 28, on the other hand, are equal, so that for the same angle traveled by the barrel 10 and the ratchet wheel 16, the wheels 26 and 28 travel at equal angles.
  • the mechanism comprises an intermediate mobile 32, particularly illustrated in Figures 2 and 3, pivotally mounted on the plate 8. It comprises a pinion 34 formed of a sleeve 34a provided at one of its ends with a toothing 34b.
  • the sleeve 34a is formed of a cylindrical portion 34c and a portion taper 34d widening of the portion 34c to the outside.
  • the mobile 32 further comprises a wheel 36 formed of a board 36a whose periphery is provided with a toothing 36b which meshes with the shaft 20 of the differential 18.
  • a spacer 37 is driven on the portion 34c of the sleeve 34a.
  • the wheel 36 is mounted free to rotate on the spacer 37 and can, thus, turn on the pinion 34.
  • a lever 38 of rectangular shape and whose length is about 0.75 times that of the diameter of the wheel 36, is provided with a longitudinal slot 41 widening into an opening 42 located approximately two-thirds of its length.
  • the lever 38 thus presents, both sides of the opening 42, a large arm 38a and a small arm 38b. It is clipped on the conical portion 34d of the pinion 34 so as to ensure the maintenance axial wheel 36.
  • the pinion 34 and the lever 38 thus form a mechanism to friction, whose limit torque is defined by the elasticity of the arms 38a and 38b.
  • a spring 40 formed of an elastic blade in a circular arc embracing an angle of about 270 ° is fixed by one of its ends 44 and known manner, the board of the wheel 36. Its other end 46, free form a bend 46a folded towards the outside of the wheel and arranged so that, at rest, it is in support against the large arm 38a, near the opening 42 and thus keeps the lever resting against the end 44 of the blade.
  • Figure 1 also shows that the mechanism includes a mobile indicator 48 mounted pivoting on a skewer 50 driven into the plate 8. It includes a board 48a provided, at its periphery, with teeth 48b engaged with the pinion 34, and a barrel 48c extending beyond the plate 8 and intended to carry a power reserve indicator needle, not shown in the drawing.
  • a mobile indicator 48 mounted pivoting on a skewer 50 driven into the plate 8. It includes a board 48a provided, at its periphery, with teeth 48b engaged with the pinion 34, and a barrel 48c extending beyond the plate 8 and intended to carry a power reserve indicator needle, not shown in the drawing.
  • the board 48a comprises a cutout 48d in the form of annular sector embracing an angle of about 150 ° corresponding to the angle of displacement of the needle.
  • a pin 52, driven into the plate 8 is engaged in the 48d cut and serves as a stop to the mobile 48, including a first and a second extreme positions are thus defined.
  • the mainspring 14 disarms slowly while driving the wheel of finishing. As can be seen in FIG. 4, the torque of the motor spring 14, represented by the curve 58a, decreases until a limit value 60a is reached.
  • the power reserve indicator then indicates that it has run out and the mobile indicator is immobilized, the end of the cutout 48d being in support against the pin 52.
  • the user proceeds to wind the motor spring 14 illustrated by the curve 58b.
  • the spring 40 disarms (curve 62b) then, when the lever 38 rest position, the torque of the motor spring reaches a certain value in point 60b, the mobile indicator is again driven and the indicator is moves next to the scale of the dial.
  • the end 44 of the spring 40 drives the lever 38 with a couple less than the friction torque of the lever on the pinion and therefore drives, with him, the 34.
  • the power reserve indicator shows the load maximum
  • the mobile indicator is immobilized.
  • the torque of the mainspring 14 corresponding is shown in point 66 of curve 58b. Pinion 34 is then blocked because it meshes with the mobile indicator.
  • the next disarming cycle proceeds as described above. Then, during the next reset, thanks to the calibration performed during the first cycle, the user knows when the indicator reaches its extreme position, the mainspring is completely armed.
  • the implementation of the various components requires special measures, both in terms of production and after-sales service, the indicator automatically settling in its position correct, thanks to the fact that, during the arming, the lever 38 rotates with friction on the pinion 34, while, during disarming, the rigging is maintained, since the spring 40 is armed. It is obvious that, to allow these provisions, the couple armature of the spring 40 must always remain lower than the friction torque of the lever 38 on the taper portion 34d.
